Sweet fragrant coffee…


Sweet fragrant coffee…

Sweet fragrant coffee, you fill me with delight,
You sharpen my hearing, focus my sight,
Waken taste and smell with rich, deep notes…
You waft restful draughts, quell restive seas,
Water vineyards and groves, hoe fruit-bearing trees,
Build sturdy safe homes, tidy cities on the plain,
Turn denizens to work for prosperous gain,
Hoist snappy white sails, launch fresh-painted boats…
You uplift my heart, quicken my feeling!
Just do not invade my sleep and dreaming.

  2. Short version of this poem:

    Sweet fragrant coffee…

    Sweet fragrant coffee, you fill me with delight,
    You sharpen my hearing, focus my sight,
    Waken taste and smell with rich, deep notes,
    Uplift my heart, quicken my feeling!
    Just do not invade my sleep and dreaming.
